Dude, seriously. It has no affect on the original canon other than this is being made instead of an actual DMC5.

It was stated over a year ago that it doesn't have anything to do with the 1-4 canon, that it's in a different universe/timeline.

Who cares what it's being referred to as - the facts are still there, and DmC isn't doing anything to the original series.
